Stunning

Amazing river trip to get to the lovely lodges. Great pool with comfy loungers. Stunning design and view in the room. Only drawback was how long it took to checkout as the bill wasn’t right.

Prachtig huisje aan Zambezi, maar sfeerloze lodge

De boothuisjes zijn geweldig en superschoon. Maar het complex is sfeerloos, personeel zeer ongeïnteresseerd op 1 of 2 na. Eten ok maar te duur.

Bei Freunden zuhause - das trifft hier zu, dieses Gefühl wird perfekt vermittelt. Der Hotelmanager Lally Sambea hat sich persönlichdarum bemüht, dass ein von uns gebuchter Tagestrip über eine unabhängige namibische Agentur, die nichts mit dem Hotel zu tun hatte, durchgeführt werden konnte. Er brachte uns mit dem Boot zum Mubala Camp und hat gewartet, bis wir dort abgeholt wurden, um sicher zu sein, dass alles klappt. So ein Service ist nicht selbstverständlich und es hat uns viel Sicherheit gegeben. Danke noch einmal dafür Unvergesslich die vom Hotel organisierten Bootsfahrten auf dem Zambezi, Krokodile, Hippos, unzähliche Vögel, ein wirkliches Naturerlebnis
